Berkeley is a short drive east of San Francisco. Situated on the shore of the San Francisco Bay and stretching through its coastal plain and into a scenic range of foothills, Berkeley is a city that occupies a classic stretch of coastal California.

Its twists and turns of terrain have enabled Berkeley to develop a sylvan integration of shops, parks, streets and greenbelts. Its leafy avenues and craggy hillsides cradle a vibrant metropolitan city scene.

Within easy access of Northern California's principal freeways and the Bay Area's major airports in Oakland and San Francisco. Visitors have many transportation options at their disposal. Here are some of the many ways to get to Berkeley:
